AWAKE

The guy has been asleep for the whole night ,day and its becoming harder to hide him from mom.

She always finds a reason to get in here but we have to avoid that lately.

Its after work about 2:00 pm.

I lock the truck and we walk into the house while  Kylie calls her boyfriend outside.

I know they may talk the whole day.

Ethan is really cool if you ask me.
He is very nice to Kylie. And always there for her.
They were somehow childhood friends. He is really handsome but not compared to this guy laying on my bed.

I grab some water and choose to watch some vines on my phone.

Atleast i get to laugh and forget my wories most of the time.

Am half an hour into watching when I turn on the TV. I randomly pick a local channel while am still on my phone.

Am startled when someone falls.

I look behind the couch to see the guy on the floor. I groan walking up to help him up.

I offer him my hand but he doesn't take it.

"I tried." I say raising my hands as a sign of giving up.

Ten minutes into his fall and he is still on the floor struggling to get up.

I switch off  the TV now having my own show of a random guy embarassing himself.

"When you are done...with this" i say pointing at him "raise an alarm." I walking back the kitchen and watching my vines.

Am laughing and he is throwing glares at me.

Finally hits the floor letting out a groan.

I look back and forth between him and my phone.
I place it on the kitchen counter and head his way.

I swing his better hand over my shoulder and help him sit on dining table seat although he is resisting.

I make him a pancake but he seems too porsche to even look at it.

"Its all we can afford here  sir."

I say pushing it to him.

"I don't want it." he says gritting his teeth.

"some spoiled guy you are?" I say sitting opposite him.
"You remember begging us not to leave you to die. Well unlike you I don't stope so  low.You want it?" I ask pointing at the pancakes.

"NO!" he says.

"Oh well, your loss." I say taking a fork.

"No, I will take it." he interrupts shame in his eyes.

I slide the plate to him and he devours the meal.

I hand him some water and he is quick to gulp it down.

"By the way whats your name. You have been here for days and I don't know your name." I say taking my sit again.

"Nate." he says casually.

"Which is Nathaniel?" i ask

"Yes." he says flatly.

"short forms bring so much of a diference. Like my friend Enzo, I recently learnt his name was Laurenzo and i was laughing all day. Now Nate is Nathaniel."  I say looking up but he seems less intriged by my story.

"Anything about you? Maybe relatives?" i ask.

"Nobody has to know that am alive. If you are tired of hosting me say so and I shall pay you." he says mocking me.

I launge at him but Kylie holds me.

"You bitchy spoiled brat, am gonna open all those wounds and fix that bomb on you again. come here!" I say trying to reach him but Kylie holds me off.

"just leave it," she says pushing me each time she speaks.

"calm down."

"Ignore him." she says.

Am glaring at him and I back off.

"Yeah listen to the scarie cat." he says again.

It's my turn to hold Kylie off him.

"calm down, just sit down, he ain't worth it." I say and we both  calm down.

"Hey since you have the money, why don't you leave our house now that you are all good." I say pointing at the door.

"Anyway its becoming harder to hide you in our small house." Kylie finishes off.

His eyes widen abit.

"No ,i can't go out there." he says shaking his head.

"Think about that next time you feel like being rude. Plus You have stained my bed enough.There is room for you out that door to where you belong diving in money being pampered up and all. We are younger than you  and you are old and mature, so act like it." I say sitting down.
